Poll: Should Federal Employees Respond to DOGE E-mails With a Poop Emoji? [1]

When Elon Musk bought Twitter, he set it so any inquiries to the PR department received a single poop emoji in response. Should federal employees respond to DOGE e-mails from
[email protected] the same way?
Pro: Funny
Con: Those employees could be singled out for retribution. Elon may try to declare a poop emoji as a resignation.
Personally, I think continuing to reply with poop emojis after a threat of taking that as a resignation would be funnier. I have two coworkers who replied “Resign” to the previous e-mail. One changed his mind and was able to get out of it. Another hasn’t received his final sign out paperwork yet, and may have to show up on Monday. So, it’s not like resignations via these e-mails are the last word.
I e-mailed my union rep suggesting this earlier this week, but have yet to receive a response. If you think this’d be a good idea, please spread the turd. I mean word.
